An Oval Challenge

Hi everyone!  I would like to share a card with you using one of my favorite sets from Sweet N Sassy Stamps- long stem silhouettes.

I embossed the silhouettes in white and sponged over the top of them with pool party ink.  I accented the centers with rhinestones and added a bow to finish off the card.  Such a serene looking card that is suitable for many occasions.  

Also, the challenge this week over at Sweet N Sassy stamps is to use an oval on your card, come play along for your chance to win!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a wonderful day!

Happy 1st day of Spring!

Hi everyone!  Today is the first day of spring- woohoo!!  I just hope someone informs the weather that snow is not welcome in the spring (shaking my head as the forecast here in Buffalo has snow in 3 of the next 5 days LOL).

So since it is officially spring, I thought I would share a card with some flowers.

To create this card, I used 2 large post it notes to mask off the strip along the side.  I then brayered Stampin Up Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe  inks and removed the post it notes.  I stamped the Wildflowers from Sweet N Sassy Stamps and sentiment with black versafine and added some twine and cantaloupe ruffled trim to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

I have a very quick and easy card to share with you today.  The card is for my dad whose birthday is on Tuesday.  He is a no frills kinda guy so hopefully this will do the trick.

I stamped the new border stamp 3 times to create a subtle tone on tone bg for my banner.  I then stamped the sentiment which is from the very fun Birthday Bash set and added some stickles for the candle.  Some twine at the top to finish things off.  Super quick and simple today.
